Hi,
I have the new Pi4 8G running 20.04 64bit and was wondering if there is a way to install the 32bit version of java? After googling it seems this was possible before in previous versions but I...

I was trying to automatically append a file extension to a bunch of file in cli and made a slight (very big) mistake. I've done many times before but tiredness overcame me on this occasion.

resetting the bios probably won't help. It's unlikely to be the boot order as it should eventually boot from the hard drive.

You just need to save yourself the frustration and take it into work...

I know with my server being an old HP desktop, whenever things like hard drive or ram is changed it first gives a warning that 'Configuration has change blah blah blah, Press F2 to continue'

It sounds like some hardware issues as the OS was installed on a different platform.

Unfortunately, the only way you can troubleshoot this is to connect a monitor temporarily to see what the...

Hi,

I currently have a server running Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS with an AMD Athlon 64 CPU.

I am going to upgrade this to an Athlon 64 x2 CPU, but before doing so was wondering if there is...

Anyone? I'm sure this is possible.....certainly is in Windows.

Hi,

I have a samba server setup and working nicely. I've created some 'bookmarks' for different shares and these mount no problem when I click on them.

What I'd like to do is to map my...

Hi,

You will need to setup Samba on the server. Try to go for the simplest approach. Google 'samba simple setup'.

If you want to access from anywhere over the internet, use openvpn to...

How are you sharing this printer?

If it is via Samba, then you can just have an allowed list for the $print share or a block list. This can be done either using the username or the ip address of...

Hi



I very much doubt it. It was probably already on it's way out.

For a pure server you shouldn't need to install a gui. A great application that I use is Webmin.

It's not in the repositories so you'll have to install it by hand and maybe a few other...

Make a new partition on the external drive slightly larger than the drive you want to back up.

Clonezilla is excellent and I've used myself for exactly this purpose. It's a bit clunky, but works...

try doing
# sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart from a terminal instead of rebooting.

Confirm it has the settings by doing an ifconfig.

Please don't hijack my thread.

Try doing
ps aux | grep dhcp to see if the process is running. If it is, then remove the package using Synaptic.

Change the dhcp scope on the router to something non-default, like 192.168.99.x....

Hi,

Was just wondering if it is possible to (easily) regress updates that are applied through the update manager.

I've had issues before after doing updates. Usually I can fix by a bit of...

Anyone?

Try setting a static address and gateway for the wired connection.

Sometimes it just works for reasons unknown. Pinging 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) is a good test of connection to outside world....and...

you could do it using normal login. Not having swap shouldn't be an issue given that most systems these days have more than enough ram. Just don't load up other programs or play games when you're...

It's unlikely to be a corrupted swap, but you could try to turn it off buy usinf the following


sudo swapoff -a

If everything work fine, then reformat the swap space using GParted or something...

Hi,
Firstly, I'm an experienced Ubuntu user and have a problem with a certain USB pen drive. It doesn't seem to be recognised in Ubuntu and I can't browse it. Other USB sticks do work and this...

Without testing this, how about formatting the USB in FAT32 and flagging it as bootable. Don't just copy the iso, but mount it and copy all the files, including hidden ones, across to the USB. Try...
